A Car with no Driver

Since we work in the automotive industry, we often attend car shows and keep up with the latest automotive news – such as the reception of the Google self-driving car at February’s Texas Transportation Forum in Austin. Google is currently promoting their vehicle around the country, and they brought it to Austin so that those attending the event could see for themselves a vehicle that changes the way we think about driving.

Development & Reception

Google has been on a mission to get its self-driving car project greater attention, as well as to get laws passed to allow individuals to use it out on the roads. Google conducted research in conjunction with Stanford University to create the technology for the vehicles – research which has been ongoing since 2005 and involved approximately 9 previous prototypes. Google has been cleared by law enforcement officials to use the vehicle on Austin roads during their visit, though laws of the state do not allow widespread usage at this time.

California, Nevada, and Florida have already passed legislation making the self-driving car legal on roadways throughout those states. To convince legislators that the vehicle is safe and so that they can properly understand it, Google will be taking a number of them on demo test-drives. It’s notable that most states do not actually outlaw cars that drive themselves – until recently, that has not been necessary because the technology was not yet developed. The above three states specifically passed laws legalizing the vehicles to back Google’s project preemptively and ensure there is no confusion about the legality of cars with self-driving capabilities.
